Ok... So I have some beads lying around that broke in half when I was trying to take them off of the mandrels - but I can't bring myself to throw them away! I had an idea that I could anneal them anyway, and then set them in PMC and use them as pendants etc, but would they be ok? They don't seem to have any other cracks in them, and no chips around the edges, seem to have broken very cleanly, but I don't want to be worrying about them cracking in the future. Any ideas?

Some people slump them into cabs :)

Ah! Thanks for that :)
Beware of slumping your transparent ones though, that hole always looks scummy no matter how much you clean it ;)
